I think we can agree that upwards of 90% of the work TSA does is security theater.Neutrino Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975378867727506317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-77454020102483761652009-04-21T18:57:00.000-05:002009-04-21T18:57:00.000-05:00The last time I flew commercial, I was (fairly) fo...The last time I flew commercial, I was (fairly) fortunate in that I was “flying on orders,” in a law enforcement capacity. The premise was that I would need my sidearm immediately upon arrival and for prisoner transport afterward. There was a little preparation at my agency. Airline counter personnel had local law enforcement examine the papers, and I was soon in the departure lounge.<br /><br />What a pleasant difference it was, the last few times I flew. A personal friend flew his aircraft to the local airport. Elder Son and I drove out onto the tarmac (no limo, just my old Ford truck) and were very courteously assisted in loading our gear- - which included several firearms. The three of us each carried our personal sidearms aboard. Through the generosity of our friend, it was a great hunt and a pleasant flight, all the sweeter because there was zero interaction with TSA. <br /><br />JPGJPGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224444263429720535noreply@blogger.com
